What We Value

Positive & Respectful Relationships

A quality grooming experience starts with a trusting relationship between the animal and the groomer. Our team prioritizes your pet’s psychological well-being as well as the physical, ensuring that grooming becomes an easeful and comfortable process for all involved.

Continuing Education

We are committed to providing the best care possible to all of the pets who come through our doors, which is why our team consistently receives continuing education on grooming techniques and animal psychology.

Highest Quality Grooms

Our groomers compete in regional and national grooming competitions, frequently bringing home top awards. When you get a groom at Blossom Pet Salon, you can be confident that you are truly getting a high-quality groom.

Transparency & Honesty

It is important to us that we partner with you to explain the care your pet receives and to have a trusting relationship that values open communication and honesty with the shared goal of your pet’s well-being.

Services that Meet Each Pet’s Needs

We offer services many grooming salons do not, such as carding, hand stripping, and hand scissoring, in addition to options for service add-ons, so that your pet can receive the care they truly need.

Advocacy

We use our education and experience to be advocates for your pet, speaking for their needs and helping pet owners to better understand how to properly care for them.
